California Toyota Diesel 80 built (1HD-T)

[Jan-78FJ40]

What kind of power can you expect?

I have not dyno'd it and I don't think I will. It is spec'd at 121kw power and 361 Nm torque. It feels extremely powerful-highway hills in 5th gear are no problem and 80 mph is easy with plenty of reserve. The turbo is gated at 10psi and it boosts about 8 at 2000rpm.
cheers,
Jan

you probably got the 2 stages injectors rebuild too .. if not, put that on your list .. congrats nice swap !

 

[Dave 2000]

That is a great rebuild job. BTW forget the 22 mpg it will be nearer 30mpg although IIRC the stateside gallon is a little smaller than UK gallon? Someone clue me in on that?

You are right US Gallon = 3.75L Imperial Gallon = 4L

You are right US Gallon = 3.75L Imperial Gallon = 4L

cough cough cough....

1 Imp Gallon = approx 4.5 litres

So, the US gallon is about 20% less capacity that the Imp gallon, therefore US mpg number will be about 20% less than Imp mpg number.

cheers,
george.

What did the whole bundle cost?

 

[Stylo07]

After the HJ60 got sold it was time for a new project. Here it is:

Locked clean 1996 80 series Cruiser,
Fully rebuilt 1HD-T (4.2L 6cyl Toyota turbo diesel)
H151F 5 speed manual transmission, fully rebuilt
HF1A part time transfer case, fully rebuilt

Did all of the components need to be rebuilt, or was it done as a preventative measure?

The combo had about 250k miles on it. It worked fine but I prefer to do things right. Like this i don't have to think about it for another 250k. I did not mention all the small things we replaced on the truck, like tie rods, radiator, wiring...

Sorry, you are right.

This rig is for sale? What is the asking price?

 

[Jan-78FJ40]

Not for sale. Just a build thread.

Nice build. This is my end-goal! I know it has taken a lot of research and patience.

Thanks for that George, I knew there was some difference but could not remember what the numbers were.
